While everyone stayed at the Ericson's I headed out with Brayden to save seats at the parade. We spent A LOT of time walking, setting up chairs, then moving the chairs until we found the perfect spot. And yes it really was THE best spot. It was shaded by the trees the whole time and it was near the beginning of the parade when all the people throwing candy were super excited to throw candy...so we got lots. All the Ericsons came and it was a lot of fun for all the cousins to watch the floats go by. After the parade everyone scattered to do their own thing for the evening. We ended up going back to the Ericson's to eat a little bit of dinner until it was time to load up to head back to Sandy for the fireworks. We were loading up the van and Britney was throwing a little animal back and forth with Steve when she fell out of the van and landed on her arm. We could tell she was hurting pretty bad bc of how hard she was crying. She wouldn't move her arm and it hurt when she squeezed my finger. All the instacares were closed already bc of the holiday and we didn't think it was serious enough to go to the ER so we ended up just heading over to the fireworks. We brought ice with us and tried to keep it on her arm as much as we could. She cried the whole way until we got her laying down on the blankets. She finally cheered up a little bit and we all enjoyed the fireworks. As soon as we had to pick her up to put her back in the wagon (thank heavens we brought the wagon!) she started crying again. Poor thing! What a sad way to end such a fun day! We got everyone home and in bed. With a dose of Ibuprofen Britney was able to fall asleep and luckily slept through the night. We were all exhausted!
